Many congressman nowadays are en-

seems that in New Jersey congressman

that his credits are much better than his
debts. In other districts the balance is
the other way. He has to give seeds.

ceives nothing but duns and growls. In
Paterson, however, it's part of New
Years duty for every producing constitu-
ent to send over to Teaneck (Mr.
Phelps home) as pleasant reminder
OF the season, the last best product of his
loom and smithy and farm. In
the Ing list Of this years gifts, which in
cludes among other things, Holstein
bull and dozen silk handkerchiefs of the
prescribed red color, nothing is said to
have pleased Mr.. Phelps so much as
something sent by Consul Catlin from
Zurich, Switzerland. Mr.. Catlin, who is
growing gray in the service, having repS
resented for years the bu.iness interests
OF the government at Rochelle, Stuttgart
and Zurich, Is college classmate of Mr..
Phelps and very ardent friend. Indeed,
when Mr.. Phelps first ran for congress
Mr. Catlin came way from Stuttgart for
the purpose TO cast his vote at
Paterson, and took the next steamer on
his return. The gift was the first

We shot many animals. The hunt was
almost slaughter. But we lost no meat;
none was used to bait bears, none thrown
away. Every pound that we did not eat
was carefully saved and sold. The meat
was packed on horses backs for some five

over burned lands and across fallen tim

which we entered or left the elk range
were purposely blind trails, and unknown

had been on the treasure for long
while, little dreaming that any bibliophile
would ever get the opportunity to secure

shipped to the New York World. This
episode was the only break in the two

"Paper collars and cuffs are becoming
popular again." said Fulton street ha-
berdashea to reporter. SIN late years
it was considered vulgar to wear them,
but now they are affected by all classes of
society. have many wealthy customers
who will wear nothing else. They are
mostly elderly gentlemen who have been
educated to the idea from boyhood and
are loath to discard the style of
linen worn by their daddies. Paper
collars have the best sale in the rural dis
tricts. Farmers, if they wear collars at
all, affect paper ones. A linen collar is
almost unknown in some parts of the
country, particularly in the West. OF
late have noticed that many young and
dressy men wear paper linen, aud more
especially in warm weather. Paper col
lars come cheap. Some brands are worth
more than others. An excellent quality
can be bought for IS cents a tox, which
contains ten collars. Cuffs cost the same
for box containing five pairs. In hot
weather paper collars are luxuries to
men who perspire freely. They can be
changed as often as desired, and are COM
paratively cheap, when it is taken into
consideration that box can be pur-
chased at about the same price that
would be paid for one linen collar. But
few men can tell q paper collar at q |
glance. Some brands make nearly as
good an appearance as linen. Celluloid |
collars and cuffs are now seldom worn.
Some years ago they were very popular, |
but only in hot weather. False or PIPER
oosoms have also almost wholly disap |
peared." |

Agreeable Prorress,

Gratifying results are reported of the late
municipal contests in Massachusetts In
almost every city the Republicans made
handsome additions to their gains recorded
at November's state election.
For several years the cities o. Mlssachu-
setts have been drifting into the control OF
the combined Democratic whisky Interest.
The aggressiveness Of the saloons has had a
demoraliziDg influence. Extravaganza aud
fraud have kept pace with this usurpltlon
of evil agencies. At last the Republicans
became aroused to the danger threatening
and resolved to stem the tide of corruption.
In no narrow or dogmltlc spirit, but sim
ply with determination that the grog shop
should not be allowed to dominate and
pervert the rule OF the sober, honest MT
jority, they entered the campaign vigor-
ously. The lines were drawn straight
through the center-Repuolicanls aad
good government on the one side, De-
mocracy, the saloons, and corruption on
the other.
On these lines six cities voted on Tues
day. Boston reelected Its Democratic
ring mayor by greatly reduced maiority;
majority lees by four Thousand than their
average, but the Republicans secured the
board Of aldermen by a two thirds mai ajority.
The result encourages the belief that the
ring-ridden city may next time be wrenched
from the hands of its present bosses. In
Lowell, Lynn, and Newburyport the sIloou
Democracy were driven from power by very
emphatic votes, and In Worcester and
Salem the Republicans were continued In
power by increased majorities.
These results plainly point a moral. Any
cause worth espousing is worth the best
efforts of its champions. The saloon In
politics must 60. 1t is the twin sister OF
corrupt government. The Democratic
party has made it's bed with unrestricted
whisky and must take the consequences.

Tariff for Revenue Only.

Mills OF Texas is making himself con-
spicuous in talking about the tariff. In his
last interview Mr.. Mills says:
Twas always strongly opposed to protection
of any kind. The greatest benefit that can
come to American laborers and manufacturers
will come from absolute free trade. would
have free trade If 1t was possible thing. Blu.
IL is necessary to have some revenue to sup
port the government, and, therefore, perfec,
free trade Is an impossibllity. My stand is
simply tariff for revenue only.
II Mr.. Mills is In earnest about "tarlff
for revenue only" he should insist on
Leavy duty on tea aud coffee. We imported
525,OCO,COo pounds OF coffee. A duty OF 10
cents a pound on this would produce
s5s,5C0,0C0. A duty OF 25 cents pound on
the 00,000,00O pounds of tea We import
would give us an income OF $22, 500 900.
Then duty on india rubber OF 80 cents
pound would produce $l5, 100000, white Is
cents a pound on pepper and spices would

slightest tinge of protection.
Then by retaining the duty on sugar,
which produces $4,000, 300, and is a tariff
for revenue, incidentally protecting some
of Mr.. Mills's political friends, and there
fore perfectly justiGable, with the Internal
revenue war taxes, the income would be
sufficient for the needs Of the government.
But Mr.. Mills has more to say in this
wise:
There is no doubt In my mind that reduc-
tiUn OF the tariff would increase wages lower
the price of the necessaries OF life, and II we
would put all raw materials on the free list we
would take the markets of the world.
The bringing in free of raw material will en-
able our manufacturers to produce cheaper
give them foreign markets and keep them in
active operation, and the importation OF many
articles. like wool, will make demand for
larger consumption Of the domestic product.
As have said, the increased demand abroad
for the products which we can make better
than other nations will increase wages and, at
the came time, the price OF the product It hav,
ing been made at a less expense, will go down

Republican League OF tho United states
A very noted assemblage has been holien
in New York city. Fourteen hundred men,

sion Thursday. Friday, and Saturday con-
sldering Il e best methods to secure sue

ton were some Of the ablest leaders of the
party, and tho deliberations were m arked
with that good serse which always charac-
terizes the meetings Of men who work ear
restly and wisely with a common end 1 ,
view.
Tue club convention was In the interest o.
no candidate, but OF the party as a whole.
The whole object was to propose plan OF
organization which would bring out the full
Republican strength in every section of the
country.
That object was accomplished aud a
plan was adopted, which will be carried
out with the enthusiasm that was displayed
throughout the entire meeting. The prin-
ciples laid down by the convention are goo
Republican doctrine and will meet the ap-
proval of the country.
The Republican League of the United
Statee, formed by the New York conven.
tlon OF clubs, will be composed OF delegates
from state and territorial leagues only,
leaving to each state aud territory the duty
Of organizing subordinate leagues or clubs.
For executive work an executive committee
has been created, composed of one dele
gate from each state and territory repre-
sented at the convention. This committee
met and organized, forming subexecutive

assigned to them by the general committee.
